It also consists in 1711800111- bination, with suchbox, of a frame provided with rollers for pressing the paper, in its pas- V sage from the box, against a distrilniting-roller in the paste-receptacle and against the brush or scraper, such frame being movable in such manner as to allow it to be thrown out of the way to afford convenience for putting in the paper or for replenishing the paste.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the machine, showing the hinged cover in two positions, one in bold and the other in dotted outline; and Fig. 2, a transverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures. I

A Bis the box or bodv of thema-chine, made of a length slightly greater than the width-of the paper or other material to be pasted. It is divided into two compartments, A and B, the one, A, forming a receptacle for a roll of wallpaper or other material to be pasted, and the other, H, forming a receptacle for the paste to be applied to the paper. In this compartment there is arranged a large roller, 0, having its periphery covered with cloth or otherwise roughened to cause the paste to adhere :to it. The journals of this roller are supported in vertical grooves a a. in the ends of the box,

extending to its upper edge, and so providing for the removal of the roller by simply lifting it out. At the side of this compartmentfurthest from the paper-receptacle A there is a brush, D, which extends the whole length of said compartment, and whose face projects slightly above the top of the box. E is a frame which is hinged at one end to the box A B and fits over its top. This frame carries three rollers which extend parallel with the roller C. One of these rollers, F, extends above the partition between the compartments A and B, and is in close proximity to it, and the other two,

G and I, are arranged above the brush one oneach side of its face, the under side of the former being a little below theface of the brush so as when the paper is in place to press it on-.

to the brush. The compartment B having been supplied with paste, and the'frame E be.-

ing raised up, the paper to be pasted is taken in the roll, which is its marketable form, and simply laid in the compartment or receptacle A inthe box or body of the machine,-and its- Claim.

The arrangement of the paper-receptacle A, the paste-receptacleB, paste-roll er 0, pressureroller F G and brush D, substantially as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.
